Thank You Wallace Stevens by Steven Croft

For explaining jars on hills
in Tennessee

 The mysteries of blackbirds and
their entanglement in so much of life's meanings

 How best to use a mind of winter
and that the only emperor is of ice-cream

 None of it makes
the most wonderful sense now

 Thank you
